ESTIMATING MONETARY POLICY RULES FOR SOUTH AFRICA
The paper combines the estimation of the Monetary Conditions Index (MCI) with the theoretic modelling of optimal monetary policy in South Africa. The idea that monetary policy is not only interested in optimal monetary conditions but also in external stability, provides the basis for the analysis. The paper introduces the concept of the MCI and estimates the relative influence of interest rates and exchange rates on the output gap. The estimated weights are 1.9:1. This estimation results is used to specify operating target rules for South African monetary policy. Copyright (c) 2006 The Author. Journal compilation (c) 2006 Economic Society of South Africa.
